Topic: Help on installation (Read 1829 times)

Real newb here on all things linux. I've spent alot of money and time on putting this media center together and now dont know what to do.I installed Kubuntu 7.04 from the cdI have the Linux MCE beta 2 cd and put it in the drive.It appears on the desktop, i open it, the install file inside opens as a word doc. I really dont know what to do. Can anyone guide me through the steps they took to get theirs working. please ill really apreciate it

you need to right click that file and use the kubuntu debian package installer to install it. right click and where it says kubuntu package or something youll see install on the next part of the menu that pops up...man...sorry...i am pretty new too and am doing it from memory. once you do that it will install an icon on the desktop. click that and the installation will start up. oh..and ill give you this advice too. make sure you have a good set of cds. i tried eleventy billion times to install it and finally redownloaded the linuxmce cds. after that it worked. learn how to get to the var/log files to see what happened if it didnt install correctly. be prepared to scour the forums to get it working. id suggest getting a good ubuntu book somewhere and reading up on it as much as you can.
